Three arrested
after car chase

The St. Clair County Sheriff Department arrested three Detroit men following a car chase early Monday morning.

The chase started just before 3 a.m. in New Baltimore after police spotted a possibly stolen vehicle out of Warren. The Port Huron Police Department deployed stop sticks on eastbound Interstate 94 near the Water Street exit to assist.

A tire on the vehicle was deflated, but the suspects continued fleeing officers. The vehicle finally stopped in the 6100 block of Lakeshore Road in Burtchville Township. Three people in the vehicle fled on foot and were arrested a short time later by deputies.

The men, ages 26, 27 and 30, are being held in the county jail on charges of fleeing and eluding and resisting and obstructing police.
